Viral Clips with PixVerse Effects: Meet the Viral Centre
The Viral Centre is live: pick an effect scene like AI Hug or Zombie Mode, add your character, and get a share-ready clip for 5 credits. Here’s how it works.
· 5 min read
The Viral Centre is Flovaly's new home for viral clips: pick a preset effect scene — AI Hug, Zombie Mode, Squid Game, Earth Zoom — add your character or a photo, and get a short clip built around them. It runs on PixVerse v5.5's effect templates, costs 5 credits per clip (8 at 1080p), and it is live in your dashboard sidebar today.
What is the Viral Centre?
Most of Flovaly is built for ad creative — scripts, actors, products. The Viral Centre is built for the other kind of clip: the effect-driven, instantly recognisable formats that travel on TikTok and Reels. Instead of writing a prompt, you choose a scene — a pre-configured effect template — and the only creative input you need is who (or what) stars in it.
Under the hood, every launch scene ran on PixVerse v5.5 Effects, an effect-template model with a catalogue of 130 preset effects. We curated 16 of the strongest into the launch line-up, organised into four categories — Trending, Transforms, Reactions, and Effects.
The catalogue has grown well past that since launch — the Viral Centre now runs 34 scenes across the same four categories. Most are still PixVerse effect presets, but a newer strand of Trending scenes — including Hug Your Childhood Self and Meet Your Younger Self — runs a different pipeline: Nano Banana Pro composes a still frame first, then Flovaly's default video model animates it. That extra compose step is why those particular scenes cost a little more (see pricing below).
The launch scenes
- Trending — AI Hug (the viral classic), AI Kiss, Squid Game, Earth Zoom, and I Believe I Can Fly.
- Transforms — Zombie Mode, Werewolf Rage, Baby Face, Muscle Surge, and 3D Figurine (your character becomes a boxed collectible).
- Reactions — Eye Zoom Challenge, Punch Face, and Microwave.
- Effects — Liquid Metal, Dust Me Away (a disintegration into drifting dust), and BOOM DROP.
Some scenes want a person with a clearly visible face (the transforms especially); others — Earth Zoom, 3D Figurine, Microwave — work with almost anything: a pet, a product, a place. Each scene card tells you what input it works best with before you commit.
How to make a viral clip
- Click Viral Centre in the dashboard sidebar (the flame icon). The page is its own full-screen space, built for browsing.
- Browse the scene grid, filter by category chip, or search by name.
- Click a scene to open the composer. Pick one of your characters — premade or custom — or upload a photo instead.
- Choose the clip length (5 or 8 seconds) and resolution (720p or 1080p).
- Check the credit cost and hit Generate. The clip renders in the background and lands in your gallery, ready to download and post.
There is no prompt to write. PixVerse effect scenes are pure presets — the template defines the action, your image defines the star. That is a constraint, but it is also the point: zero prompt engineering between you and a finished clip.
Generation follows the same queued-progress pattern as the Studio, so you can keep browsing scenes while a clip renders. Everything you make collects in the gallery alongside your other generations, ready to download in one click.
Getting the best results
The input image does most of the work, so a few habits pay off:
- One subject, clearly framed. Face-driven scenes (Zombie Mode, Baby Face, Eye Zoom Challenge) want a single person with the face well lit and unobstructed.
- Match the framing to the scene. Full-body scenes like I Believe I Can Fly or Dust Me Away work best when the whole figure is in frame; upper body is enough for Muscle Surge.
- Draft at 720p. Find the scene-and-subject combo that works at 5 credits, then re-run the keeper at 1080p for the version you post.
- Use a consistent character. Running the same actor through several scenes gives you a recognisable series — a format that compounds on social. If you have not built one yet, see Create your own custom actor.
Pricing in credits
PixVerse effect scenes are the cheapest video on Flovaly: 5 credits per clip at 720p, or 8 credits at 1080p. The newer compose-then-animate template scenes — the ones that meet or embrace another version of yourself — cost 8 credits at 720p or 12 credits at 1080p instead, since each one runs a Nano Banana Pro compose step plus a full video generation. Pricing is per scene and shown on the scene card and in the composer before you generate, so there are no surprises. For how credits map to plans, see the pricing page. For how that stacks up against every other generation type on Flovaly, see our full AI video ad cost breakdown.
Where it fits
The Viral Centre is for effect-driven entertainment; the Studio is for scripted creative. When you need an actor delivering lines, use Talking Actors — powered by OmniHuman 1.5, covered in our lip-sync explainer. When you need a scripted scene from a prompt, pick a base video model — our 2026 model comparison covers which one suits which brief. And when the brief is simply “make something people will share”, this is now the fastest route on the platform: one scene, one character, one click.
FAQ
What is the Viral Centre?
The Viral Centre is Flovaly’s dedicated space for effect-driven viral clips. Instead of writing a prompt, you pick a preset scene — an effect template like AI Hug or Zombie Mode — add your character or a photo, and generate a short clip built around them. It lives in the dashboard sidebar behind the flame icon.
How much does a viral clip cost?
Viral clips are the cheapest video on Flovaly: 5 credits per clip at 720p, or 8 credits at 1080p. Pricing is set per scene and shown on the scene card and in the composer before you generate.
Which effects are available?
Sixteen curated scenes shipped at launch across four categories; the catalogue has since grown to 34 scenes in the same four groups — Trending, Transforms, Reactions, and Effects. Most run on PixVerse v5.5’s catalogue of 130 effect presets. A newer strand of Trending scenes, including Hug Your Childhood Self and Meet Your Younger Self, instead composes a frame with Nano Banana Pro before animating it, which is why those particular scenes cost a little more. The line-up keeps growing.
Can I use my own photo instead of a character?
Yes. The scene composer lets you pick any of your Flovaly characters — premade or custom — or upload a photo instead. Some scenes work best with a clearly visible face; others, like Earth Zoom or 3D Figurine, work with pets, products, or places. Each scene card says what input suits it.
Can I write a prompt for a viral scene?
No — PixVerse effect scenes are pure presets with no prompt field. The template defines the action and your image defines the star, which is what makes the Viral Centre the fastest route from photo to finished clip on the platform.
